The original nofollow list was sourced from third party sources, with the original list being created at http://courtneytuttle.com – I have taken this list and made over 200 additions and listed them by PR and category for SEO purposes.

I’ve had a pretty rough few days this week, so I dedicated quite a lot of time putting together a rather special resource for you. It may not look much, but it’s a list of over 160 categorised, PR ranked blogs which all don’t use the “nofollow” attribute in their links. Before you jump to the end of this article to download it, I’d like to say one thing: This list is not for blog spamming! Seriously, spamming it would be a waste of your time and a waste of the 10+ hours I spent putting this list together. Since I was feeling extra generous, I’ve also built the blog list into a Custom Blog Search Engine, so you can simply search for your niche and find relevant blog posts! Anyway, as I said…

Me no spammy list?
No, you no spammy list. For a start, it probably won’t work – plugins such as the awesome Akismet pretty much stop most automated spam, also if you piss the blog owners off, they’ll probably just nofollow the links anyway and then the fun’s over for everyone. There’s a much better use you can put this list to.

Ok, I’m listening. What’s there to do?
Okay, as I said, we’ve got a list here of over 160 blogs that will follow comments. All of them either have a lot of traffic, or high PR. (Some I believe have a high PR, but display PR0 because the Toolbar PR hasn’t updated yet). So for instance, lets take an example that you run a Travel Insurance website. The best thing you can do is look down list this and make your own mini-list of all of the blogs that cover travel and culture. These are going to be the blogs we want our links on, they have authority, traffic and more importantly, they are highly relevant.

It doesn’t take long to scan read a post, so have a look at the latest posts (who knows – you might learn something too!) then leave a comment on the blog, using your “name” as the keywords you want to rank for (try and keep it the least “spammy” as you can). In a standard comment you’ll want to compliment the post, make a relevant comment on the post content and a closing remark. Keep it short & sweet but try and add some value, this will get your comment approved.

If you factor this activity (say an hour a day) into your SEO/blogging schedule you’ll be picking up some nicely weighted, relevant links every single day – as well as the traffic you can generate from click-throughs. It is a safe method of building pretty good quality links that you can be sure will get indexed fast. The main leg work is in sourcing a list of blogs that don’t use the “nofollow” attribute, but I’ve already done the hard bit for you!

Isn’t there an ethics issue here?
Even for white hatters, I don’t think there’s an ethical issue here. So we’re putting our comment there for the sole purpose of getting a link, yes. However, if the blog author can read this comment and they think it adds value to the post, where’s the harm in that? If bloggers are so concerned about who they are giving their link juice to, they should be use the nofollow attribute in the first place.

That sounds like a lot of work!
Well, it really isn’t, but for your lazy types – you’re in luck. Jon Waraas has recently launched a service called Buy Blog Posts. His service essentially offers the above technique for 100, 500 or 1000 blog comments in your niche. Now, there has been a lot of criticism over Jon’s service saying it is “evil”, “vile” and it will “destroy the blogosphere”. These people, really need to get outside more, if not only so we can give them a kick in their blogospheres. As I stated earlier, if the author of a post can’t tell the comment is “pseudo-spam” then I don’t see what the problem is.

As usual – Give it a try and let me know how you get on! You are welcome to put a copy of the PDF list on your on website or blog.

“You are welcome to put a copy of the PDF list on your on website or blog”.

Serious question, I know you’d get the backlink from the PDF, but why would I do that and not just link to this post? In this case you’d get a link either way but have you found ways of using PDFs to infiltrate places that regular links can’t? (other that Eli’s refrigerator warranties)

You are looking for a couple hundred no-nofollow blogs? Easy, go tohttp://www.bumpzee.com/no-nofollow/
Check out the blogs that are part of this community and voila, done. Took me one minute to compile that list :).

Btw. thanks for the nofollow link on your blog. This makes me question your motivation for the creation of a list with OTHER blogs that do what YOU DO NOT.

Great post. I thought of it several time and left many comments to blogs that do not follow. Now I wondering is it still worthed? Do we get link back or not? Is google capturing them or not? Thanks in advance for the replies.

Hi!
Do you really think, that – apart from serious comments – making comments is a “white hat” linkbuilding strategy? Considering that you just make comments, where they fit topically, i would say yes… but encouraging people to do that daily as a regular part of a linkbuilding strategy sounds quite “spammy”…

Yes, I think it is. I make daily comments on lots of blogs, nothing to do with SEO – a lot of them are nofollowed. However, if I can find quality blogs with followed links – then all the better.

You should look up the actual definition of “spam” as it’s a term that just gets flung around nowadays. I don’t care who you are, if you make a comment on my blog that adds value, then I’ll approve it.

If people are that fussed about comment link juice – they can just nofollow!

I post follow and nofollow. Who ever has the most valuable and original info. I know how hard it is to create original content and it makes me feel so much better when people post original interesting comments. I guess every blogger is intitled to a little spamming, but in the end the more real you are in your presence online the longer you will last. Thanks for the post.

LOL, well the only problem that I see with this is that you provide so much good info on your blog that I will spend all of my time reading it and never actually get any work done! This is a great post and a great idea that will give you a consistent amount of links coming in. I also feel that anyone that does it will stand to learn a lot as they read and will probably become more involved with the blogs that they post to as well. Thus over time not only gaining links, but cross sharing knowledge and experience and enhancing the blogs all together.

Overall this taken in the spirit that it was laid forth will benefit everyone and enhance the overall “blogosphere” .

Terribly ironic. If you took the time to read the post, rather than bypass your brain and go straight to the keyboard, you’d see we mentioned about reading posts. making quality comments and getting involved with the blog on a long term basis. But then, how can I take you seriously when your company offers “top 25 search engine submission” and “resubmission”. Have you told your clients that submitting to search engines is absolutely unnecessary before you send them their bill?

Yes, yes.. I know – I probably shouldn’t be catty to people that read my blog, however we’ve got a very nice, intelligent crowd here – please don’t lower the bar. Also, just so you can update your website, the major search engines index and crawl query string URLs just fine…

[…] on Next update. I found the list of blog that have a DoFollow plugin installed in their blog from Digerati Marketing, he list 160 blogs include the category and Page Rank for that blog, looks pretty good source for […]

First of all thanks for giving us such a nice compiled list. I like to comment on all the posts that i find interesting.It does helps me when its not using no follow but i do believe that if you like a post you should definitely put a comment on it.

[…] All that accomplishes is attracting more attention from spammers. Next thing you know your on a few public yesfollow spam lists and probably hundreds of private ones. I can think of a few ways to turn a yesfollow blog into a […]

Hello Mark, I read about this blog on DigitalPoint from another member who has dedicated a thread to your list. And it has a link to it. So, obviously there are still benifits to NOFOLLOW links but I think Google was right in discouraging the Spam of many blogs by webmasters.

The do-follow movement is over. Its too easy for a person to add a “great post” comment and go and never visit your site again… Look at the above commenter “Basement Flooded” said… So obvious with those keywords too…. Making by blog so you have to have at least 4 comments to have a do follow link back…

I’ve been doing a thing recently that lets me get link juice even when a blog has nofollow comments. All you do, is put a signature in at the end of your comment using an ‘a href’ tag. I doubt it’ll work for all blogs, but i don’t think I’ve had any comments blocked when doing this.

I had a look at a few blogs before i started doing this and generally there aren’t any nofollow tags applied to the main coment boxes (at least so far anyway – someone told me that newer wordpress blogs do have this??)

I don’t know how you’d factor in using keywords for this method, its not something i’ve tried to do, as yet.

I should also say that I only do this as part of making a pertinent comment and am very much anti comment spam!

thanks for that. i never joined the nofollow revolution until a few weeks ago and it was a big mistake… i dont know why sites like wikipedia where they have nazi moderators still nofollow their links. surely theyre the best form of control?

Has anyone heard that a couple phone companies are trying to change the way people buy the internet. I have heard that if you can afford it your website will run the same. If you can’t you will be using a generic form of it. These phone companies are upset that Google is making billions.

Ed Whitacre, the CEO of (then-SBC) now AT&T issued his famous manifesto attacking Google and other Web sites for Ã¢â‚¬Å“using my pipes (for) free.Ã¢â‚¬Â

I want to know what you think.

My phone service used to be Verison since hearing about this I have switched companies!

This list needs a SERIOUS update! Several of the sites have lower or no PR rank than posted. Everyone I went through used nofollow! Whats the point of posting with a list like this if it doesn’t do anything! Surprise surprise, this site uses nofollow! Does anyone know what ‘view source’ is anymore?

I updated dated it last comment and added 60 more. You want to help out and give an example of any of the nofollow lists? This would be much easier if the community helped rather than just moaning and expecting to be spoon fed everything.

thanks for the 160 dofollow blog list. But, i know there’re software that can do not just finding dofollow blogs, they allow u to post comments to them as well. A free version is Comment Kahuna, Payable ones like Comment Hut, Blog Comment Demon

Hi, thanx for the great work; this is indeed a very helpful list. I’ve been using nofollow on my blog from the beginning as well; datenschmutz (literally translates datadirt) is written in German though, but it has PR5; I’d be happy about in inclusion in the list despite the language barrier

Nice list, this is really helpful. I have found so many good dofollow blogs from this list, and tons of good content. I think it helps so much with participation on the blogs…. I’ve found some really helpful articles just searching through all these different blogs, even though not all of them are in similar niches.

Have I commented yet? Not sure because I’ve been on this page for so long! I’m a little blown away at all these resources! Thanks! Not sure if my is a no-no follow or not, guess I’ll have to check it out!

I have two blogs that are not yet listed and I am looking to get in the community. one is seoptimizers.blogspot.com and the other is cebu-seo-contest.blogspot.com/. I hope to get listed as I am looking to give link love to people who’s comments are useful to others. Thanks

Hi ! Mark, I had read about this blog at DigitalPoint . And it has a link to it. So, obviously there are still benifits to NOFOLLOW links. But I think Google is right in discouraging the Spamimg of many sites by webmasters.

Seeing the flow of comments for over 1 year and 3 months I can say that your 10+ hours of work has not been wasted. In fact, I think it saw a huge profit of goodwill for you, dear friend. Thanks a lot. Keep em’ coming!

Maybe you have to do a google search on these two: “pagerank” and “dofollow blogs”.

In summary, if you post your website link on a dofollow blog, Google spider will follow the link to your site and will index your pages. If the forum has a high pagerank, it can increase the pagerank of your website.

Nice one – even a year and a half on – is the search engine variant of this up to date? I imagine it will be but just wanted to check. Everyone should remember to be a useful member of whatever community or blog they eventually end up commenting on though – the webmasters will cut you down very quickly if you don’t. Thanks for the hard work and generosity.

Great post. I thought of it several time and left many comments to blogs that do not follow. Now I wondering is it still worthed? Do we get link back or not? Is google capturing them or not? Thanks in advance for the replies

I’ve jut recently been racking up on long tail traffic. I’ve realized this its harder than it used to be but seeing as how the economy is in such a downturn services are cheaper to higher people to work for you to get these long tail keywords.

It’s interesting that the no-follow debate is still going several years after you first posted this article Mark. I guess it’s because link building is one of the most difficult aspects to SEO. Matt Cutts seems to have clarified some of the page link juice ramifications of no-follow in recent times. And Do-Follow has definitely gained a lot of traction with leading bloggers.
